Hello! And welcome to More Than Fitness-
A place where we explore the incredible journey of womanhood, and self-discovery- helping woman on their journey of not only fitness, but also nutrition, wellness, and accountability.
My Story
​
My name is Tarah, I'm a certified personal trainer, group
fitness instructor and fitness, nutrition and wellness
coach. I'm excited to share my story with you. With three
amazing daughters, two adorable granddaughters, and a
loving husband who's been my rock for 16 wonderful years,
my life is full of beautiful moments that go beyond the
surface- If there's one thing life has taught me, it's that
we are so much more than our appearances.
​
Let's dive into a little more of my story. From a young age, I've experienced the struggles of body image and weight management. As a pre-teen and into my early 20s, I was often labeled as "too skinny," leaving me battling accusations of having an eating disorder. The pain of those accusations cut deep and really messed with my mindset as a young woman. It was a time of confusion and frustration, as I desperately tried every avenue to gain weight, only to find nothing that worked.
​
Around the age of 24, a breakthrough arrived—I started gaining some weight, and for the first time, I began to appreciate the body I was in. But life had more surprises in store, at age 26, the greatest blessing of all arrived – my first daughter. As life bloomed within me, so did the numbers on the scale.
​
From there, I embarked on a rollercoaster of diets. The cycle of yo-yo diets became my reality, promising quick fixes but delivering short-lived results that took a toll on my health and mindset. It was in 2021 that I had an epiphany- Real change, the kind that lasts, isn't about drastic measures or overnight transformations. It's about embracing the power of small, consistent steps and trusting the process...
​
Through this incredible journey, I've uncovered a passion I never saw coming: fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness. The joy of discovering how our bodies can thrive when treated with kindness, ignited another fire inside me. And as I walked this path, I couldn't help but notice the incredible power of women supporting women. This realization led me to find my purpose— helping women embark on their health and wellness journeys, just as I have.
​
Why More Than Fitness? Because here, we understand that true well-being goes beyond just "fitness", or the number on the scale. It's about embracing our stories, our struggles, and our strengths. It's about creating a community where every woman feels heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we'll navigate the twists and turns, celebrating victories and finding growth in challenges.
​
So, ladies, join me as we embrace the ups and downs, celebrate the victories and learn from the challenges. Together, we'll rewrite the narrative of health, weaving in self-love, empowerment, and lasting well-being. Remember, it's not just about fitness – it's about becoming the happiest and healthiest versions of ourselves.
Here's to celebrating our bodies, our minds, and the beautiful tapestry of experiences that make us who we are. Let's embark on this journey together!
